Did
you notice the decrease in news coverage of this year’s March for
Life in Washington DC last week?

I
tuned in to local and cable channels every day looking for news on
the March for Life events I knew were being held in the nation’s capitol
for the 34th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. But I could find little
coverage, The same thing was true for print news.

Why?
Because of the mainstream media’s liberal bias, many would say. And
I would agree with that.

Has
the mainstream media adopted a new don’t show, don’t tell too much
pro-life news policy…because it could persuade more people to
take a second look at the pro-life argument. Images of huge crowds
demonstrating for civil rights is powerful, especially when there
are large numbers of young people, in this case…marching for life.

A
few years ago, one of my husband’s business friends who was very active
in the community tried to do something about the continual liberal-leaning
bias in our county’s newspapers, and ended up starting his own newspaper.
What an undertaking. What an expense. What an uphill battle it was
competing with the big media boys. Today, because of the internet,
no longer is owning a newspaper or a television station the only options
available for someone who wants to do something to get the unbiased
news out.

Anyone
can set up a website or a blog for little or no cost, and hundreds,
thousands, even millions may very likely read what you post. The MSM
having realized the power of the internet has a presence on the web,
but they do not dominate it. News coverage is no longer in their control.

Every
issue you can think of, and every side of every issue, is covered
on the internet including the pro-life / pro-choice issue. Blogs
for Life and ProLife Blogs,
are just a couple of examples of credible news coverage. And NPLR
(NationalProLifeRadio.net), which began just over two months ago,
has had well over half a million hits to their site already. While
Planned Parenthood
is probably the pro-choice staple, the Democrat
Party often leads with this issue on their site, such as covering
the new Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi’s remarks on the 34th anniversary
of Roe vs. Wade:

"Today, we
observe the 34th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme
Court decision that affirmed a woman's right to make her own reproductive
health care decisions.

"Roe v. Wade
is based on a woman's fundamental right to privacy, a value that
all Americans cherish. It established that decisions about whether
to have a child do not and should not rest with the government.
A woman – in consultation with her family, her physician, and
her faith – is best qualified to make that decision.

"The 110th
Congress signals an end to 12 years of destructive debate putting
politics above science and restricting women's rights afforded
by the Constitution. In this new Congress, we will work together
in a bipartisan way to reduce the number of abortions by preventing
unintended pregnancies through comprehensive sexuality education
and access to family planning in the U.S. and abroad.

"As
I have throughout my time in Congress, I will continue to work to
ensure a woman's right to choose. We must preserve the right to
privacy while promoting a comprehensive approach to reproductive
health care, including planning for healthy families."

However,
while feminists such as Nancy Pelosi claim they are the ‘majority’,
they are actually losing ground on one of their bedrock issues…a woman’s
right to abortion, as a new
Zogby Poll indicates. As posted on their site: “Polls are consistently
showing that Americans are becoming more pro-life. A December poll
conducted by Zogby International, a respected nonpartisan polling
firm, confirms that, by a 53% to 36% margin, the public supports the
statement, "Abortion destroys a human life and is manslaughter." An
amazing turn of events. Note, this is referring to abortion, period.
Not partial-birth-abortion, et al.

Probably
one of the most powerful reasons pro-choicers are losing ground is
because of the emergence of organizations such as Feminists
for Life, with their “Women Deserve Better” campaign, and the
Silent No More movement,
where women who have had abortions are admitting they regret having
done so. Not to mention the new
3 and 4D ultra sound scans that show amazing pictures of what’s
really inside the womb of a pregnant woman...a baby.

More
and more women have grown tired of being told that in order to be
liberated they have to be on the side of death. They realized it doesn’t
work.
